The Approaching Primaries.

Democratic primaries will be held next
Saturday. By the call only Democrats are
invited to participate, and by special resolu-
tion of the County Central Committee all
others are specially prohibited from taking
part.
There should have been no occasion for
such action by the Central Committee. NO
Democrat should. be willing to accept the
votes of Republicans to defeat fellow Dem
ocrat, and no Republican with self respect
should be willing to engage in Democratic
primary.
1t was thought we'll, by the Central Com
mittee, however, in view of prospective con-
tests, to take decisive action, as charges have
heretofore been made of Republicans voting
at Democratic primaries where the contests
have been sharp. In the heat of rivalries for
district delegates, candidates and their friends
sometimes forget themselves, and being de-
termined to succeed take any means at hand
to accomplish their ends. 1t was to avoid
such possible contingencies that the resolu-
ton was passed, and it is hoped that judges
of elections and officers of primary meetings
will adhere closely to it and exclude all out
Democrats from participating.
We repeat, also. what we have heretofore
said, that bitter primary contests are not con-
ducive to party unity and success. They
should be avoided and independent delegates
chosen, bound by no other pledge than to
place before the convention every aspirant in
their respective districts. With this every
candidate should be content.
We would also repeat, that district success
does not insure a nomination; while on the
other hand, bitter contests may result in the
successful candidates failing of success before
the convention, for such antagonism and OPP
position are sometimes raised that united
vote on election day is matter of great i'm
probability.
If contests are to be made, however, we
again counsel moderation and prudence.
Democrats should remember they are oppos-
ing Democrats, and no one should do or say
that which would OF y, Dasn lISiSan oppo-
,..,rs, i'm the eSslle !, sation. If .
candidate depends upon the failings Of his
rival for success, it may be safely concluded
he has no merits of his own, and should be
voted to stay at home.

Joining the Popular Side.

The Ne,o York World did herculean SER
vice for the Democratic ticket in 1884, and
contributed largely to the success of the party
in that hard-fought and memorable contest.
Shortly after Mr.. Cleveland's Inauguration,
however, the World, because it could not
control him, began to adversely critieise and
endeayored to bring him and his administra-
ton into disrepute. Mr.. Cleveland needed not
the World, but discharged his duties faith
fully and conscientiousy. His mistakes have
been few and unimportant, and his honest
efforts have won the applause of the great
body of the people. So well has he succeed
ed in making public office public trust; in
converting government employees from mas
tiers to servants of the people; and in enforc-
ing economy and guarding the public treas
ury, that there is general desire everywhere
to ELECT him. No other name is seriously
mentioned for the nomination for President
on the Democratic side, and scores of con-
servative Republicans and others everywhere,
who care more for stable and economical
government than for partisan advantage, are
standing ready to give him their votes for
another term.
The World, realizing this, and finding itself
powerless to stem the tide, is now about to
cease its opposition and to add its influence
in favor of Mr.. Cleveland. 1t had to do 1t,
or fall behind. A newspaper is powerful
engine, but it must be honest and base its
opinions upon sound reasoning before it can
have much influence.

Counterfeit Silver Dollars.

A new counterfeit of the silver dollar of
1884 is being worked upon tradesmen and
others. The bogus dollar is not very danger
eps to a careful observer, but in any place
where rapid business is done it may be sue
cessfully passed, and 1t should be watched
for. The counterfeit is evidently made by
casting from a mold taken from Il genuine
piece. 1t is not stamped in die. In color
it is somewhat lighter than genuine silver,
having clean, soapy appearance and feel
which prevents ordinary grit or dust from
adhering to it. The lines of the engraving
are not at all sharp, like the original. and the
coin is noticeably thicker, the milling lines on
the edge longer, and the diameter slightly
shorter. When dropped the coin does not
ring clearly like silver nor drop fat ike lead,
but it emits sharp, metallic noise. The SIS
in the word pluribus is noticeably bad, and
the imperfect casting of the old English let
tiers in the motto, SIN God We Trust" gives
the appearance of line running through the
letters, as though the genial counterfeiter was
not quite sure Of the sentiment. Blind per-
sons may tell the bogus coin when dropped
into their hats by the weight, it being lighter
than the genuine. 1t is also soitor than sill

Henry George and Socialism.
M the N Y. Ereninn Post.

From the N. Y. Erening Post
The determined attitude ofthe United Labor
party against Socialism is creditable, but it is
difficult to see where the line is to be drawn.
If all advocates of socialistic doctrines are to
be excluded from membership, how are Henry
George and DIR. McGlynn to remain ? Not
only are their land theories pure Socialism,
but the utterances of both men have at times
been as thoroughly socialistic as those of any
of the aynwed Socialists whom Mr.. George is
expelling with so great show of virtue. In
deed, Mr.. Georges nomination for Mayor
originated in one of the worst hot beds of
Socialism which we have had here, the Cen
trail Labor Union, and it was from the same
element that he drew his most active support
in last years campaign. Nothing, for exam-
pie, could be more purely sociallstic than
McGlynn's well known apology for killing the
Gar, or his other declaration in favor of the
assumption of all landed property by the State
withouta dollar Of eompeasatioH to its owners.
For George and McGlynn 10 turn Socialists
out of their party is in fact as absurd as was
the recent professed determination of Nc,
GIynn to bring suit against the a -
- !er the eonspiraessrw, on the [. PeavL1l5r
his accommodation amounted to bo2t
McGlynn apparently forgot for the moment
that he belonged to party which believed
boyGntting to be sacred and inalienable right
of every American citizen.

A Prize Fight for Love.

A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald gives the following: "Capon Springs,
a fashionable mountain resort, about seventy
FIVE miles distant from Washington, in West
Virginia, was the scene of duel several days
ago, according to the rules of the modern
prize ring, between two of the young men
guests. 1t was intended to keep the affair
profound secret, but the particulars leaked
out to-day through some of the returning MS
itors to the springs. One of the principals
was the son of distinguished Western Con-
gresham, whose family has been spending
the summer at Capon. The other is hot
blooded South American, an attache of one
of the legations from that country. The
primary cause of the difficulty was the atten-
tons paid by the young men to one OF the
ladies at the springs. Each, it seems, was
Jealous of the other, but each concealed his
sentiments until dispute subsequently sprang
up between them during game of base ball.
The lie was given, and the South American
promptly challenged the statesman's son.
The challenge was as promptly accepted, the
weapons named being naked fists. The par
ties met at FIVE O'Clock the following morning
in field back of the hotel. All the matters
of detail were carefully considered. Each
man had his seconds, and referee chosen
from among their mutual friends was selected
in the interest of fair play. The affair ended
in one round. Before its termination, how
ever, both men were considerably battered
and covered with blood. Finally the West
erner succeeded in planting blow upon his
antagonist neck. 1t knocked him out com
pletely, and the statesman's son, amid the
shouts of his friends, was carried Oft the held

Gen. Ben. Buffers scheme for getting rid
of the surplus in the federal treasury is to give
every person a pension who served in the
federal army during the late war. If that don't
exhaust it, then he would begia on the surviv-
ing Confederates. 1.-THE pension business is
continued much longer there will be many
more consumers than producers, and the
difficulty will be, not to getrid of surplus,
but to raise sufficient revenue to carry on the
government.

Mr. John K Cowen occupies nearly six
columns of yesterdays Baltimore San, at
twenty cents line, to give to the public his
views why a new constitution cannot affect the
taxation of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, to
tell how he differs with the president and
other prominent officials of that corporation,
and to give vent to his hatred of Democratic
leaders and Democratic methods. There Is
one thing Mr.. Cowen never explains in any
of his speeches or letters to the public, and
that is, why he, who comes to Maryland from
personal choice from Ohio, and who would
leave the state, perhaps, if his connection with
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad were severed,
should feel called upon to lash himself into
fury and run counter to the controlling inaa-
ences in the state and find fault with city and
state government, when native born citizens
who have more at stake in every respect than
he, are quite content and satisfied. The pub
lie would like to be enlightened on this point.

Base Ball.

The Baltimores have been making good
record the past ten days, and but for the fact
that Smith is disabled and Kilroy overworked
would easily take second place. As it is,
fourth place is probably as high as it can hold,
which position it has held for two weeks. On
last Friday they beat Cleveland Is to 0. on
Saturday to 0, by II to and o. TO I on
Monday, and Cincinnati to on Wednesday.
This makes five games won. The Baltimores
lost two to Cincinnati-on Tuesday 10 to 8
and Thursday to 2. Below is the record,
including Thursdays games.
